i also have a hard time doing a backflip … i used to be able to when i was younger but i stopped jumping on the trampoline for a cpl years and cant do one anymore … but i would say that if you do it once than you can do it a hundred times

you will have to go to a gym and be taught how to tumble. start quick, and practice a lot, because it takes a long time to learn the difficult manuvers that cheerleaders do .
the girls in my childrens school begin taking gymnastics about age 5, and take it continuously(once a week) until about Jr high school. anyone in our school anyone who cannot do gymnastics(back hand spring, cartwheel, aerial, etc,) has no chance of makning squad. and our school is VERY small. in bigger schools, competition is tougher.
get to work, and good luck
